We’ve got thumping! At 18wk3d I officially felt the first REAL thump while sitting at work.

At first, I thought it was just my tummy rumbling from hunger, but I felt it in one spot and then seconds later in another. I was wearing a skirt so I was able to maneuver my hand easily to wait and see whether baby was ready to play and sure enough “thump”. So I thumped back..and baby replied. We played this game for a few minutes and it was just the moment I realized “wow, there is life in there, not just a beating heart!” Later that night when I got home, Ray was sitting on the couch with me and we watched my uterus thump. I must have some really thin walls of muscles to be able to see this already but I didn’t want this to be a “power of suggestion” so I didn’t tell him where I was feeling it nor seeing it, I waited for him to point and he confirmed it each and every time. woo hoo! Ever since then I”m feeling the bouncing around more often. Seems like the baby loves it when I”m eating jello pudding snacks and is especially active around 11pm. I think its just digging the music mama listens to all the time. I can only imagine how active he/she will be when we’re in Cabo this coming week dancing to all that spanish music.

According to the pregnancy books, my uterus is the size of a cantaloupe right now and the baby is approximately 5-7 inches like the size of a can of soup.
So insert B into A and this is what I’ve got going on right now :)
